Gus's Top 100 Bootlickin' Nonce Anthems

Is it not so universal in the UK? It is the number song for normies in america, so much so that theres a bit of post modern awareness about it for them which is rare in that group.

'Wonderwall' has taken on that sort of quality too.

 

[DannyL]

The nearest that band could get to a moment of rebellion is a mispronunciation.

 

[DannyL]

I do wonder why you're doing this. Ugly, terrible music, that's culturally ubiquitous anyway...why shove it in our faces?

He's expressing himself.

I wouldn't normally be so blunt but The Killers is a slap in the face.

 

[DannyL]

He's expressing himself.

So was Peter Sutcliffe

maybe, but that seems more of a joke. People here really love mr brightside. maybe wonderwall is different for the UK

Throwing in some other essential 2000s cultural artifacts

I have the same question about why you're bothering to post opinions in my thread that have been voiced here a dozen times over

There's a whole board, if you don't like the content you can click on a different thread or go fuck yourself, really Danny

 

[DannyL]

Probably similar only Wonderwall (another song I fucking hate) is coded a bit differently, more "laddy".
Guys jumping on each others backs, waving bottles of Becks in the air, kinda tune.

That doesn't answer the question though. I am genuinely interested. Like, why?

Dissensus as a board is deeply in denial about what it actually wants. This thread, for all the vitriol, already has more pages of posts than WG's 100, and I'm only on song #20

This thread is exactly what Dissensus wants, demonstrably, objectively, etc. I received the same feedback on Brooklyn Culture Mafia and now it's going on 200pgs, I haven't posted there for years but it keeps going on its own, perpetual motion machine

So I would spin the question: Why are you interested?

 

[linebaugh]

I do think we should continue unrelentingly criticizing gus, forever toeing the line of acceptability and seeing how far he can stretch, but the mission seems pretty clear to me. I dont get why people are confused. Hes just revisiting the popular music of the era he grew up in.

 

[sus]

I'm giving Dissensus exactly what it wants. Don't ask me to be your psychologist too!

 

[DannyL]

This thread does have substantially more posts than Wild Greens, I'll grant you. Part of that is cos there's less to argue about, and people like a good barney.

Yes, you Lads have spent 15 years meticulously charting the political fault lines and aesthetic micro-gestures and subcultural sub-divisions of your own youth culture. I don't understand why you're confused why Americans half your age might occasionally try to do the same with theirs

So I would spin the question: Why are you interested? Why are you still posting here? Like, why?
